Overview
RJ is a youngster who always says what he thinks no matter how it sounds or makes others feel.
RJ doesn’t realize his words are wrong. He thinks he’s just speaking the truth and offering feedback. Throughout the story, RJ is taught how to analyze social situations before he speaks and to choose appropriate words to say, or none at all. With help from his parents, he discovers he doesn’t have to verbalize every thought that pops into his head. In fact, sometimes the less said the better! This storybook is the seventh in Julia Cook’s BEST ME I Can Be! series which teaches children social skills that can make home life happier and school more successful. Tips for parents and educators on how to effectively choose appropriate words to say, analyze social situations, think before you speak, and control impulses are included at the end of the picture book.
